A Gold award powered by our community
The Best of the Best People’s Choice Awards celebrate businesses that have earned the confidence and loyalty of their communities. Receiving Gold in the Indian Restaurant category is more than an award for Curry Leaves—it is a reminder of the relationships we have built with our guests over the years.
From families sharing a weekend meal to friends gathering for dinner, professionals meeting over lunch, and guests celebrating life’s special occasions, Curry Leaves has always aimed to be more than a place to eat. We want every visit to feel welcoming, flavorful, and memorable.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who voted, shared the news, encouraged our team, or simply returned to enjoy another meal with us. Your continued support made this achievement possible.
Authentic Indian flavors in the heart of Tampa
Curry Leaves Indian Cuisine began in 2015 with a commitment to sharing authentic Indian food and warm hospitality with the Tampa Bay community. Over the years, that commitment has remained at the center of everything we do.
Today, our flagship Tampa restaurant at Westshore Plaza offers guests a spacious and vibrant destination for Indian dining. The restaurant brings together traditional flavors and a modern atmosphere, with an expansive dining area, full-service bar, private dining spaces, and a setting designed for everything from casual meals to larger celebrations.
Our menu reflects the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine. Guests can explore richly layered curries, aromatic biryanis, tandoori specialties, South Indian favorites, fresh breads, vegetarian and vegan selections, desserts, handcrafted beverages, and much more.
Whether you already have a favorite dish or enjoy discovering something new each time, our goal is to prepare every meal with care and provide an experience that brings guests back to the table.
An award that belongs to the entire Curry Leaves team
This Gold recognition would not have been possible without the dedication of our team. From the chefs preparing each dish to the servers welcoming guests, the bartenders creating beverages, and the team members working behind the scenes, every person plays an important role in the Curry Leaves experience.
Restaurant excellence depends on consistency, attention to detail, teamwork, and genuine care for guests. We are proud of the people who bring those qualities to Curry Leaves every day.
The award encourages us to continue improving while protecting the flavors, traditions, and hospitality that our guests value. It also strengthens our commitment to creating a restaurant where Indian culture and cuisine can be shared with the wider Tampa Bay community.
Continuing a tradition of recognition
The 2026 Gold award adds another important milestone to Curry Leaves’ history of local recognition. Over the years, Curry Leaves has been honored by community choice programs, publications, and guests who have shared their experiences through reviews and recommendations.
Each recognition is appreciated, but the trust of our guests remains our greatest achievement. Awards may mark a special moment, while lasting relationships are built one meal and one visit at a time.
